Created for martial arts enthusiasts and collectors with a deep appreciation for the artistry of sword-making, every detail of this Katana has been meticulously selected to reflect exceptional quality and profound symbolism.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from T10 steel, known for its outstanding strength and sharpness retention, the blade of the Katana Ryousei is polished to a mirror finish. This enhances its visual appeal while reducing friction for optimal cutting fluidity.

Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from green lacquered wood, provides solid protection for the blade while adding a striking visual element. The sageo, woven in matching green and white, secures the sword comfortably to the belt, allowing for smooth, swift draws. This blend of aesthetics and functionality is perfectly balanced in the saya’s design, enhancing both the sword’s appearance and ease of use.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in authentic shagreen (ray skin), the tsuka provides a firm, comfortable grip, essential for controlled handling. The gold-coloured tsuka-ito adds a touch of refinement while enhancing grip for precise command during movements. With its durable materials, this tsuka guarantees long-term performance, making the Katana both reliable and visually striking.
